I'm heading in town shortly to help work the Memorial Day observances by our American Legion Post. There is a parade at 10:00, followed by a service outdoors and then the Auxiliary serves fried chicken and BBQ pork steak dinners in the lower level of the Post. Hubby has been frying chicken since about 7:00 am and I'll be tending bar downstairs.

It's always a long, long day for us, but well worth the opportunity to participate in the honoring of all service men and women, past and present.

Thanks to all the service men and women for their sacrifices. Dad and Uncle were WWII, and ex hubby was Vietnam, and esp my former students who were drafted mid-school year for Vietnam and never returned. Lost one of them from our school and it was so sad.
